HEAVY band you want to see in Sheff

      Its ludicrous. Where are all the sludge bands who'll play just for the craic? Sheffield should be awash with nasty bastards peddling the heavy but its all fancy-ass indie bollocks with tinny tone and too much delay.

      Don't mean to be harsh on people who like that stuff but that's the way it is.


      Depressingly this

    • Most of the sludge bands can be found about 5-8 years ago, all trying to be Iron Monkey and failing.

      Depressing, but true. The price you pay for not being fashionable (for a relative value of fashionable). Not that Sheffield was ever particularly awash with heavy bands.

    • Off top of me head, some Brit bands I'd love to see here in Sheff (that I haven't seen here before):

      The Heads
      Diagonal
      Chrome Hoof
      White Fang
      Invasion
      Old Basford
      Gonga
      Battlewitch
      Bong
      Shit and Shine
      Analysis of Bison Kills
      Gorse

      All, probably, in cost range, and also in the other thread I just posted in which I apologise for.

      As a lineup that would be amazing. Chrome Hoof are cool and The Heads actually replied when I asked about them playing the London all dayer, shame singer was on holiday

      yes, why not.

      adding a sheffield band in such a small scene has very little merit.

    • Apart from putting on bands that want to play in their local town

      meh... i dunno, gues it depends on the bands. im a fan of good old fashioned local support bands but im not saying either is a better idea. the sheffield scene is a bit pants anyway, especially for this kind of heavy music.

    • I suspect we're a bit overdue for a Sheffield show :(

    • Well rev, if you wanna play on the 16th August we can put you on...
    •  drewmillwarddrewmillward
    • Ey up!
      White Fang would love to play Sheffield, any venue, any time (as long as the rest of us ain't at work or something). We are loud, we are heavy but we ain't that proficient...... but we are punctual.
      All we ask for is a handshake on arival, and possibly somewhere to lay our heads. Anything more is a total bonus.
      We are polite. We like to drink.

    • Same goes man, if you wanna play that date... your requirements can be met

    • You know a venue or any other bands playing yet? I'll check with the rest of the Fang.

    • I've sent out some smoke signals to the others, hopefully they will be able to do it.
